Janne Jalkanen commented on JSPWIKI-44:
---------------------------------------

Hmm... I'm wondering whether AuthenticationManager.login() is the right place 
to put this.  Or should it go to Login.jsp?

What should be strategy be - put the last logins in a rolling list and when a 
single account is attempted more than X times it starts slowing things down?

> Add an invalid attempt lockout/unlock mechanism
